With the government’s involvement in this international matter, especially considering it’s China, is it possible that there’s a gag order preventing them from saying anything?

Their strenuous, detailed denials, personally given by individual senior officers seem to go very far beyond what a gag order would require.

Given project/ biz structures at least with amazon and the gov cloud efforts, their response could be entirely true and false at the same time. Ie. amazon didn’t have modified hardware but the joint business venture did.

Whether or not there was a gag order they're still unlikely to want to admit to being hacked.
